Why do sociologists contend that the federal government facilitated and subsidized white flight?
What will be an ideal response?
Instead of using its role in the home mortgage industry to promote homeownership for all groups, the federal government adopted a set of standards that typically made homes in minority and mixed-race neighborhoods ineligible for loans, deeming them too risky for investment. Home ownership, consequently, was largely restricted to whites, especially in the suburbs.
